At first.
Lv Rou had been nervously watching Lin Yu flip through the photos.
As he kept flipping, she realized he was genuinely searching for the well-taken ones.
Her mood gradually relaxed.
That was, until Lin Yu finished browsing and swiftly flipped back through them again...
Lv Rou: "!!!"
"Hey? Lin Yu, you’ve already gone through the photos we just took."
"The ones from earlier are at the front. The rest are just my private pictures."
Lin Yu’s fingers moved surprisingly fast, instantly landing on Lv Rou’s selfies from today.
It startled her so much that she hurriedly spoke up to remind him.
But to her utter disbelief.
Lin Yu turned to her with a blank look and blurted out something completely unexpected:
"Lv Rou, your selfies are really nice too. Can I take a look at them?"
Lv Rou: "???"
Damn it!
What’s wrong with this idiot?
Is he seriously asking this?
Is this what happens when a socially awkward loner has never been in a relationship?
What girl wouldn’t be creeped out by his clueless behavior?
Asking to browse through a girl’s personal photo album?
Of course the answer is no!
But today of all days...
Lv Rou couldn’t outright refuse Lin Yu’s request.
Wu Chuntian was acting as the "supervisor," watching everything closely.
In fact, right after Lin Yu said those words.
Wu Chuntian deliberately nudged Lv Rou’s arm.
Clearly reminding her not to back out now.
He’s just some repressed weirdo, after all.
Let him flip through a couple of photos to satisfy his bizarre curiosity, and it’ll be over, right?
"Y-you can look. They’re just some random selfies I took."
"Haha, honestly, there’s nothing interesting there."
After saying this, Lv Rou was shocked to notice.
Lin Yu was visibly trembling?
Lin Yu: "They’re nice… no, to me, they’re really special!"
Lv Rou: "!!!"
What the hell!
Is this guy okay?
Why’s he shaking like that?
We’re in public—is he already fantasizing about something?!
Lv Rou didn’t usually mind being someone’s imaginary crush.
But seeing Lin Yu holding her phone, trembling right in front of her, was downright disturbing.
If she’d known he was a socially inept lunatic.
She would’ve picked literally any other guy in class over him!
She wasn’t afraid of perverts.
But she was terrified of perverts with screws loose!
People like that were best avoided entirely.
Who knows? He might stab her out of nowhere on the street someday.
Then spit on her corpse and mutter, "You’re the one who betrayed me."
Just thinking about it sent chills down her spine!
The only silver lining was.
She’d already deleted or locked away any photos and videos that shouldn’t see the light of day.
At most, Lin Yu would see a few harmless personal shots.
Today, she’d just have to play the role of a merciful bodhisattva under the Bodhi tree.
[Ding!]
[Bloodthirsty Assault—the host’s demonic mental pressure has struck rare fear into the heart of a temptress!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Lin Yu smirked inwardly.
They really picked the wrong target. Why mess with him?
Couldn’t they have bullied one of those four pushovers instead?
He had zero interest in these two social butterflies.
Nor did he care about leaving a good impression on them.
Quite the opposite.
They thought he was just some class outcast, right?
Then he’d gladly reinforce that image—as an unhinged outcast.
By now.
Lin Yu had merged [Heavenly Guardians Formation] and [Earthly Fiends Formation], along with Ying'er and Maomao’s hacking skills, into his own arsenal.
While Lv Rou had happily skipped off to take more photos earlier, he’d already planted the seeds for this moment through her phone.
Deleted some, locked others?
Tch.
What remained on this phone was entirely up to Lin Yu now!
After flipping through twenty or so photos.
Lv Rou grew increasingly impatient and softly urged:
"See? Just some boring selfies."
"Either at school or out eating good food."
"Haha, I don’t have many hobbies. Should be enough, right?"
Lin Yu sped through a few more, then suddenly froze at one. His expression turned puzzled:
"Huh? This one… white sheets, white pillows, white blankets…"
"Where was this taken? Such a weird place!"
Lv Rou took a closer look: "!!!"
Beside her, Wu Chuntian leaned in and gasped: "Holy—"
No way.
Wasn’t this from that time at the hotel with her ex?
Her ex had gifted her this phone on Valentine’s Day, so they’d taken tons of photos together.
She was sure she’d deleted all of them.
Had she missed one?
Thankfully, this one was taken before anything happened—fully clothed, nothing revealing.
And a clueless guy like Lin Yu probably wouldn’t even recognize a hotel room.
Close call.
"Oh, this is where my friend from another school lives. I was just visiting—!!!"
Before Lv Rou could finish.
Lin Yu swiped to the next photo.
Wu Chuntian craned her neck further, covering her mouth in shock.
This one didn’t just feature Lv Rou.
There was also a guy with dark, pockmarked skin, locked in a passionate lip-lock with her.
Lin Yu didn’t recognize the guy’s face.
But he couldn’t help thinking—rich guys sure ate well.
"Lv Rou, seems like this wasn’t your female classmate’s place after all."
"Looks like a male classmate, huh?"
Lin Yu stared at her calmly, his tone indifferent, as if discussing the weather.
Thanks to Shen Jiuyi’s poker-face lessons, he had the perfect model to emulate.
"Give me back my phone! Those photos were already—"
Lv Rou lunged for it.
But Lin Yu effortlessly switched hands, tossing the phone to his other side.
He even playfully teased her like some cocky delinquent:
"Can’t give it back now, hehe…"
"This is how guys and girls flirt, right?"
"Want to play keep-away, Lv Rou?"
Lv Rou’s face darkened: "!!!"
Screw you and your entire family!
If not for the crowd, she’d have cursed him out already.
This moron had zero boundaries.
Was he brain-dead?
Did he think this was some cute schoolyard chase?
As for that photo—she was positive she’d deleted it.
How the hell did it reappear?
Now she couldn’t even be sure what other "landmines" were hidden in her phone.
Right then.
The perfect wingman stepped in.
Wu Chuntian grabbed Lv Rou’s arm and whispered sharply:
"Rou, you forgot to delete some?"
"Don’t forget—I ran a whole lap downstairs for this."
"You’re not chickening out now, are you?"
"I won’t allow it!"
...

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!
